    Dear fellow gardeners,

    Can you help me identify these three flowers?

    Scabiosa-oid— perhaps Knauia arvensis?
    Look here, what do you think? https://www.senteursduquercy.com/sc...2299-knautia-arvensis-knautie-des-champs.html

    Filipendula ulmaria— Meadowsweet

    Hypericum perforatum— Sint-janskruid

    These are what I am thinking. That first one looks like some sort of Scabiosa, but which one? I always thought that it was a Scabiosa; however I cannot find a foto of one that looks exactly like mine.

    I want to thank each one of you for your help here. That Scabiosa-like one has me stumped. I will take a foliage shot next time I am the lottie and post it here. Cheers all.

    Palu— I looked carefully at these two candidates. I have grown them myself, but they are not my present sort. Thank you so much.

    Knautia arvensis and field Scabosa are surely a tight ID… Could be either one. Would need to see closer shots of straighter stems and leaves are a tad bit blurry.

    The flowers of Spiraea ulmaria L., also known as Filipendula ulmaria L.
    Also known as Meadowsweet. Very invasive here in my zone.


    Hypericum has naturalized in my garden. I really like it , it dies down to the ground after 2 years then sends up new growth the 3rd year to start the cycle over again.

    Mel and Daniel: I hope to pop out to the lottie later and take more scabio fotos.
    The defining thing may well be those little blue pollen things on stems coming out of the blooms. Look at this foto then at mine. See what you think.

    If I could only read Dutch! But I get the gist… a picture is worth a thousand words…hairy stems for +ID.

    “Knautia arvensis is a native to the British Isles, and Ireland, typically occurring in well-drained to moderately dry calcareous grasslands, but also on dry hedge banks, field-edges, roadsides and wastelands.”

    A bit technical…on native habatat.

    @Sjoerd This is a fun thread…:)

    There are several plants with it. Phacelia, for instance.
    Think back to your beekeeping days and hive checks. Remember the workers coming in with different colours of pollen? With the changing of the plant sorts, so changes the pollen colour. There are some surprising colours. Do you remember?

    Sjoerd happy to supply articles that you enjoy. :) Look at those fuzzzy stems…
    Nice pic . Thanx. It’s always in the details…ID.

    Spring bees & blue pollen from siberian quill. Haven’t see any bees carring blue pollen - interesting video. Wait for it..
